Boxing Day Adventures

Okay so the reason Grandma came was that this little man had to be at Riley at 6:15 am on 12/26 for a series of tests. He was SO brave and had a great time charming all of the nurses and especially his buddy Dr. Gupta. He was under for about 90 minutes, came right back out and the first thing he said was "where's Grandma!?"  He wouldn't eat or drink anything until the nurse told him he couldn't go home to Grandma until he did. Guess how long it took him to put down a popsicle after that?!
B has low fecal elastase and a zinc deficiency. That coupled with chronic diarrhea gave Dr. Gupta reason to suspect an issue with his pancreas so he had an endoscopy, colonoscopy and panc stem test done to see what was going on in there.
 The good news is that Dr. Gupta didn't find any structural issues so we can cross that off along with Cystic Fibrosis (which we tested for on 12/17 and passed with flying colors). Now we are waiting for the results from his biopsies and panc stem.  Thanks to our dearest family and friends who are family for your thoughts and prayers!
Goofing around beforehand.

The nurses were SO great. B got gifts and laughs and everybody came in to meet him and introduce themselves beforehand.

No worries whatsoever!

A quick cuddle afterwards while he was waking up and he was right back to his normal rowdy self.  Thank you Riley!!
